Description
Summary:Engineering Analysis in Applied Mechanics is composed of two basic parts: the mathematical foundations in Chapters 1 through 3 and the final three chapters on specialized topics in engineering physics. Chapters 5 and 6 are devoted to solid mechanics and dynamics. The text surveys the mathematical foundations of applied mechanics. The sections on engineering mathematics includes treatments of simultaneous algebraic and differential equations, matrix algebra, the theory of optimization and the calculus of variations. The author pays considerable attention to engineering applications in theoretical thermodynamics, strength of materials and Langranian-Hamiltonian dynamics. This text is recommended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and a familarity with Matlab or Mathcad is suggested.
